Today is the last day of the month of Elul. (Many Jewish months have two days to celebrate the advent of the new moon- this is one such month.) That means that some 30 days of our self-assessment and personal improvement program has elapsed. The goal has been to determine how we can make our lives- and the lives of others- better. (You can also search for Elul in the index to the left and see more of my thoughts on this “resolution-making” period.)

Yom Kipur- the Day of Atonement
The 10th Day of Tishrei. That’s tonight’s (and tomorrow’s) Hebrew Date, which means it will be Yom Kipur. (The Tora [the bible] says – it was evening, it was morning; one day. All days start when the sun goes down.) The end of 40 days of introspection, repentance, and preparing ourselves to be better humans and to make the world a better place- with renewed vigor.
